Motorola usually puts out Windows Mobile Standard devices, like the Q series. But now they have joined the touchscreen game with their introduction of the Motosurf A3100…

I’m digging the small form factor, their special GUI, and the fact that it looks like the body may be made of metal (something I always appreciate), but I don’t quite know what to think of the fugly port on the back side! Is that for 3.5mm headphones? If so, then maybe I could get over it…
